For the wave equation, utt = c2uxx, with the following boundary
and initial conditions,
u(x, 0) = 0
ut(x, 0) = 0.1x(π − x)
u(0,t) = u(π,t) = 0
(a) Solve the problem using the separation of variables.
(b) Solve the problem using D’Alembert’s solution. Hint: I would
suggest doing an odd expansion of ut(x,0) first; the final solution
should be exactly like the one in (a).
solve the wave equation utt=4uxx for a string of length 3 with
both ends kept free for all time (zero Neumann boundary conditions)
if initial position of the string is given as x(3-x), and initial
velocity is zero.
